There are no pictures today as nothing was really picture-worthy.I pulled the leading edge off the left wing and deburred it. The ribs were already deburred but I had to get all the holes that I match-drilled in them, plus the holes in the skins, and the edges of the skin. I also had to remove the blue vinyl from the outside of the skin, which was a pain and took a while as it was cold and the blue stuff didn't want to let go of the aluminum.
There is lots more deburring to do on the right leading edge, then all the main skins and ribs. Then they will all need dimpling, and then the leading edge ribs and all the skins will need to be primed. I'm glad to be done with the tanks and sealant but there's lots left to do.
